Having your teeth cleaned more than absolutely necessary can actually erode your enamel and increase the occurrence of cavities. At this point most reliable DDS recommend a dental cleaning only once per year (sometimes more sometimes less, depending on other health factors). Also it’s worth it to find an office that uses newer/higher tech water cleaning techniques that decrease enamel erosion.
Of course I don’t know about your personal medical history, so just an FYI to consider.

My insurance gives money back on gym memberships if you provide them with proof that you attended a certain amount of times in six months. Usually you just need a signature from an employee. I’ve heard this could also be used from something like a martial arts class. There’s also discounts on yoga and massages through places associated with the insurance provider.
